I doubt I’m the only one who feels this way, but these type of walks and gatherings of your harvest is calming for me. I’m amazed at both of you having a wealth of knowledge!
Yes @marjoriedanley ~ you wrote exactly what I have been thinking. It feels as if I am right there with Danny and Wanda, and the beauty of it all seems to go right into my spirit, heart and mind, and calms. It also gives me Hope... The magnificence of God in His perfection of Creation is beyond words. No matter what all "they" have done and are doing, God Reigns and His Mercy endures forever. Thank you for your comment and God Bless to all~ winds
Ive never seen a squash horn. My Grandpa would do this with Duck and Chicken Feathers. They are cut the same way, and make a great horn. Children really enjoy playing with the feather horns!
That is such vital knowledge for me to gain about the Nitrogen not absorbing into the soil until AFTER the plant dies which will benefit NEXT year’s plants! Makes total sense but have never been taught that! (I’m only a on my second year of gardening.) This is a prime example as to why you two are my top favorite RUclips channel.
I 100% agree with the old timers with regard to the 3 sisters garden. In fact (and I live near Jamestown/Williamsburg area) I've done a lot of research on this method which was braught to our attention by the Native Tribes of this region... many of whom were "nomadic" with their camps based on long term weather patterns and game availability (unlike the plains tribes which followed the herds seasonally). I spoke with a (I believe Meherrin) tribes woman who stated that they plant the corn in rows of hills, each with fish heads at the center at the center, between the New Moon following the Flower Moon in April and the Planting Moon in early May. This is followed by the Green Corn Moon in early June and the corn should all be up. In early July the squash is seeded in the hills at the Tassel Moon. Beans go in the mounds at the Ripe Corn Moon. This makes a lot of sense when you concider they would plant beans as they harvest ears from the stalk. The following moon is the Fruit Moon (?) when they harvested the squash or melons and beans were harvested at the following 2 moons. Then the dry stalks were laid down and burned some years right in the area they grew. When I think about the pests that accumulate on squash and melons, the fertility of biochar, they cycles of beneficial insects... this system truly works with the natural cycles of this more northerly region (from fish availability to frost dates to pest cycles and soil fertility). The fact that named all the warm months moons with regard to the cycle of their corn crops really speaks to the importance of using the development of corn as a timer and support for their other crops... all of which also feed livestock. I'm sure that any unharvested corn that was perhaps to immature to harvest during their traditional moon harvest period was left on the stalks to mature and over ripen and were used dry as a deer plot in the autumn. It was only after years of failing to plant all these crops at the same time that I "asked the experts" and learned this method for my region. You're clearly much farther South than I am and so benefit from a slightly earlier application of these same principles. Thank you for explaining it to those caught trying to plant everything at once. God Bless. 💚🙏
I love the squash horns! My son is going to love that! When my baby girls were little I told them where the tomatoes split and the brown webbing appeared that fairies would come at night and sow them back together because they had to serve their purpose.
I would give up everything to go down to where he is and help with his garden and I am 62. I love Growing gardens !!! Thank you for sharing and I am happy for you 👍✝️✌️
Thank you, that's a good way to bring some laughter and share with your children, grandchildren the free fun things and yeah they will overdo so a fun teachable moment
That caterpillar is a woolly caterpillar that will turn into a leopard moth if I’m not mistaken… I plant Mississippi pink eye purple hull peas throughout my corn after it tassels. I usually get one to two pickings from them late summer. As my grandparents did. Also thank you for sharing your information about your Dexters Danny! Great video! Ted
Hey there! That resembles a woolley worm ( Tiger moth caterpillar ) , but it doesn't have the color to it. I don't know why that is. ( I'll have to look into that) Perhaps it's a different kind of caterpillar. My grandmother used them to predict the coming winter. They are typically black on the ends and rusty brown in the middle. The more brown there is, the milder the winter will be. The more black there is, the more severe the winter will be.
The first time I Canned them I cried like a baby because they turn green and I wanted them to stay purple lol my mother-in-law just laughed her tail laugh at me
This is one of my favorite videos! Such peace and tranquility on this land and I love these Dexters 😍😁 It's easy to favor Sushan' s gentle spirit though the others are loved and prized as well. Y'all are truly blessed of God.
We did the 3 sisters method last year to see for our ohio area. In our experience it was awesome. We got full ears of corn. The best bean harvest we ever had considering the year before I had such a bad bean harvest I had to can from other peoples gardens. The sqaush was a great harvest as well. I do believe that the beans helped the corn. They also planted fish under the corn. We planted everything the same time. We didn't feed anything or use anything on the plants bc we wanted to see What everything did. It was one of our best harvest so much so we are doing it again this year.😉 my great grandparents were full blooded Sioux Indians. The groups moved around so much that they used different spots to garden from year to year. The Indians moved around the land, I don't think they would worry about nitrogen for the next year in that same spot so I do believe that nitrogen is released to the corn that year..but that's my experience. I guess a soil test would show that too if we really wanted to know. Thanks for your knowledge as well. Love ya both.
I just love your guys property. Its absolutely beautiful there. Danny reminds me of my grandpa. He was a farmer his whole life here in Michigan. One of the most honest man I have known. My Grandpa was also a photographer of animal's. Many of his photos were published in nature magazine's.
Danny, you were the very first one I ever saw pruning squash. My husband laughed and said ever since you've been giving those squash plants Deep South haircut in the famous words of Danny King they been Cadillacing 😊
Retired and on budget. Wanted to try electric culture but out of my budget at the moment. Long story short relative had some left over copper tubing from refrigerator repair. Well gave it a twist clockwise as best as I could and put it in my pots. Wow can hardly wait until I can do electric culture right.
We got little lizards happily patrolling our garden since we made a habitat they like. Do they eat stink bugs? I think they are too big, but if they do, it would be a great meal for a lizard. So far, stink bugs are not around. Maybe our cat does some good too. She is a real hunter. Who knows, but as long as those stink bugs are not around, we are just tickled pink about it. And your shofar, well that is just precious! LOL
Your discussion about your young bull reminded me of my years breeding horses. It was amazing to me how many characteristics turned out to be inherited! Genetics is a fascinating study - there were bloodlines that were popular but linked to undesirable characteristics - one stallion sired many show winners, but he also sired a high number of offspring with a club foot. And recessive genetics could hide serious defects; the industry finally advanced to the point that part of the registration process includes a DNA test, and they could identify carriers of a recessive gene that's lethal - foals that had the defective gene from both parents would become sick and die, usually within six months, because their immune system was virtually nonexistent. And color genetics is almost a field in itself!
Absolutely wonderful to see your joy in your garden plants and the progression of it. AND the care and attention to your cows. i had no clue on the characteristic differences of cows like that. Very delightful to watch this. Thank you for verbalizing everything for some of us who don't see so well any more.
I still think it's amazing that people can be picked out of their gardens already when we can't even plant till the end of may. We won't get squash or cucumber till August.
Grilled pumpkin is delish! I marinate it in italian dressing in a zip lock. I got hurt by a worm/caterpillar that looked like that wen I was a kid. The spiney needles stuck in me.
I stumbled on your video and I enjoyed it so much! Your garden is very impressive and so is how knowledgeable you two share with such ease. And the stalk horn for kids! Thank you so much for sharing!
Thank you Mr Danny and Ms Wanda. I had my thoughts all wrong in the nitrogen fixing of beans and all the information on raising your cows. Trying to prepare an area to start raising a few. Wish everyone a blessed day.
There's some truth in the simultaneous 3 sisters. Beans/peas have nitrogen nodules which bacteria convert nitrogen into a soil nitrogen, then there's fungal network. So if your soil is healthy and has the fungal network, then nitrogen created in the nodules would be transferred elsewhere. When dealing with a no-till or low till situation, then simultaneous works, otherwise conventional would be more beneficial of cyclical. I do try to do a bean every year in every bed though.
Good morning. I don't think we have stink bugs in new england. so interesting for me to see. I am amazed that you are harvesting already while I am just planting. Bravo!
I guess your winters are colder and kills out the stink bugs? I'm in the south near the TX OK border and just started planting myself. Actually I started transplanting 150 tomatoes and 100 pepper plants that I started indoors from seeds a couple of months ago. We've had so much rain that my tractor couldn't till up my garden a month ago, so I'm starting my garden with you northerners. I've got to hurry up, because in mid July it gets so hot that alot of the plants can't survive. I assume you have fairly mild summers where you live?
My grandpa told me he always planted fall peas for turning under for making good growing soil for the next year. Thankyou for the videos Danny and Wanda
❤ welcher here in South Texas we plant the beans the corn and the Squash at the same time.. And they all do very well together very well and it worked just fine and then outside the cornfield Wheels plant extra squash any kind of squash zucchini you name the squash with Planet you name the male flowers we pick them we eat them not right away after they have already given the vegetable because after that they start giving vegetables and then the vine starts to grow more and that's when the tips come off the beans are delicious and we plant either pinto beans red beans white beans kidney beans you name it we plant it except for the green beans we plant on a string or let them Vine anyway they want. But I suppose that everybody has their own way of doing things we do seems to more Highway and we call it in Spanish milty's what you have there and standing close by is called a milpa Garden. And people that have a lot of property will let another neighbor borrow a little piece ....where they can have their own garden... edit shots to go and most people get together and that's when they call it Las Milpas. Thank you very much❤😊
I read that about the nitrogen fixing beans too. They release it when they die to feed the soul for later. The way you explained it was very clear. Thanks!
Hey Danny I am going to make that horn for myself as I ( 71 years old) think that is fun -Forget the Kids 😃😃. Danny & Wanda what a fabulous learning video- that really taught me a few things for my next growing season- we are just a couple of weeks away from Winter here in Brisbane Australia. Cheers Denise- Australia - THANK YOU BOTH
Thanks Danny and Wanda. I've never seen a worm like that. I'll keep my eyes out for them. I'm glad that you explained about the 3 sisters. I've tried telling people the proper way to do it but they would rather listen to some you tube channel that doesn't know what they're doing most of the time. Maybe they'll listen to you. Much Love ❤
I love those round squash - haven’t successfully grown them in the desert yet but when I lived in a more temperate zone I grew them and ate them raw they were that good!
That's why it's called Nitrogen Fixing. My grandaddy said it fixed It for the next crop not this crop. In case of a bad next season in conditions you had available nutrients.
Hi Danny and Wanda. Nice looking cucumbers and squash. Pretty cool on the squash horn. Gardening is fun for the adults and kids lol It does sound somewhat like a shofar. I love it. You have lots of green beans already. It's so nice to know about the brace roots. Your corn stalks are good sized and good and tall. They are loving all the corn stalks you brought them. Sounds like Buddy had to go. It just wasn't working having him. I like what your doing with using different areas for the cows to graze. Makes good sense to not let them over graze. It's so beautiful there. Thanks for sharing. Many blessings to you both.
Round (globe) zucchini is one of my favorites, and yours look beautiful and so prolific! That caterpillar you found is quite common in my neck of the woods. Personally, I have found the chickens won't eat them. Thank you for such inspirational vids!
I am almost 85 years old, and have had a garden and chickens for most of my life. It has been my experience that chickens will not eat any caterpillar that has hairs on them.
The corn that I saw planted on a western Indian land was 10 or 12 feet apart for water conservation. The squash & beans had plenty of room to grow as they needed to.
This is an awesome video. Getting ready to create our first "sisters" garden. I've been wanting to do it for years but have never gotten around to it. Going to do Cherokee White Flour corn that came from Kansas City Kansas so it should do good here. And probably trail of tears beans. Still trying to decide on what squash, probably going to give one more try with your Cherokee tans. It's no fault of anyone that a fox got the last one I tried growing here. Putting fencing up this time. Being on the edge of town we get the rural pests AND the city prsts it's such a battle. I just love your new cows.
18:40 Wow! You just made my day. This video is a gold mine! I’m absolutely going to use this knowledge in my garden, the correct way to do Three Sisters AND the squash horns... with or without the kids!
WOW 🤩! I’ve never heard of nor seen a “Squash Horn” before in my life ❤ Born and raised in Alabama so I truly appreciate this teaching ❤. Thank you sooooo much 🥰🥰🥰
Y’all remind me so much of my grandparents who lived in Pascagoula. Your videos are so full of knowledge! I’m going to show my kids how to make the squash horn, they will love it! 😂
I have learned so much from this video and I’ve been gardening for years. I can’t wait to make the horn for my little one. Thank you for taking the time to share your knowledge.
Absolutely amazing is all I can say about your fields. That Danny corn is amazing. Pray we get to purchase a few seeds this year would truly like to try growing. Trying the electroculture and some plants may not be bigger but seems so far yields are higher. Thank y'all and wish everyone a blessed day.
Hey Danny! Regarding that caterpillar... My great uncle and both grandmother's taught me that is called a sting worm and they do sting !! Also another one to watch out for is called a oakmoth caterpillar and it will creat a scabbing rash that hurts until it's gone . Both are very wicked brother. Burn them if you see them those hairs will continue to irritate you long after if you smush them in the dirt. Y'all continue to bless me and my patty through your videos God bless y'all.😊
This is the most educational video, really enjoy watching and learning stuff i did not know, thank you for passing along priceless info, and the heritage
Oh my gosh, thank you so much for the info on the three sisters! Ive been having such a hard time with the timing. The corn or the beans are not the right size to grow together. Im so excited to try again this year!!!
Good morning from Queensland Australia, really love watching your channel, full of very helpful knowledge, keep up the great work. I heard a tip from a farmer who has Jersey cows and he never buys a cow if you can see the whites of there eyes, they can be more challenging, I thought that was interesting, GOD BLESS
I love your property. And your Moo-moo's. Thank you for sharing the knowledge you've gained with gardening in the south. I'm in south alabama near the gulf coast. THE BUGS, Bug me. If I would had seen a catapiller like that, hairy big one you had. I probably would had spazzed and caught the garden on fire. Lol!! 😂 The big spiders with a shell on them, that looks like a RV full of their family. My husband has stopped me from blowing up the spider caravan. You'd think after 15 years I'd be use to them. Nope!! Furry critters, I love. They have 4 legs, 2 eyes, cuddly!! The others have billion of eyes, legs, bite and fly, jump. Nooo to bugs. Other then bees and butter Flys. I look forward to viewing your channel for your advice.
Looks like I need to move to the deep south I'm in Southern KY all I've harvested so far is a few strawberries. It's my first year really trying to garden seriously and the biggest effort. I'm trying to terrace garden on a hillside that's mostly clay and in containers. Hopefully God shows me favor more abundant than my ignorance lol
What are the little copper looking coils at the right end of the cucumbers. There is a copper looking coil thaat looks to be about a #10 wire coiled to be 1 inch in diameter and about 1 inch in height.
Mr. Danny you are one fun Pawpaw. Pecan Grove is beautiful. I completely understand about the cows. When I was a girl we had a magnificent Angus bull. However he never saw a fence that he didn't consider a challenge. He would break down wooden fence posts (they were old) and get into the neighbors registered Holstein herd. We had to sell him.
The squash horn was a amazing thing for kids and adults alike! I really don't understand why you pick everything before it's mature! I get you don't like seeds getting very big but when you pick before they are mature they have a very green flavor to them and can be bitter!
Picking before they are mature , will produce more fruit . Once the fruit is mature , it signals to the plant that reproduction has been accomplished , and the natural cycle is complete , it will the stop producing more fruit .
Watch out for Hairy Puss caterpillars they are very painful. I loved the sqash horn!!! I have planted 3 sisters, am using JADAM sprays on the dirt right around the plant for now, and just started making and planting some electroculture antennas. Next week I will make Jadam pest repellent tea from store bought Chilli powder, garlic powder, and mint tea. The instructions say only do one or two plants, then wait a few days after you spray the leaves. So far I have only killed one plant, it was a four inch high Peron tomato. I have 2 others, but they are out of seeds now.
Good morning Danny and Wanda. Your explanation of the 3 sisters makes perfect sense. Just loving your beautiful Dexters. I'm hoping in the future you have some yogurt or cheese making videos with those A2A2 cows.
We sooo much enjoy watching y'all. Great way to start the day, of cause after time with the Lord and the garden... Learn something every time. I like the "shofar" horn out of the stalk. I was raised on a cattle and tobacco farm with lots of veggies grown too, never, never knew that horn trick. Thanks you 2. God bless
I doubt I’m the only one who feels this way, but these type of walks and gatherings of your harvest is calming for me. I’m amazed at both of you having a wealth of knowledge!

@@windsofchange31 Very well said, and that’s exactly how I feel as well. May God Bless You, my friend in Jesus.
Its just natural flow, we all should learn from this and be planting any food we can.
Squash horn 😮 that's my first time ever seeing something like that ❤and I'm 39 years old.
My wife and I are celebrating our 6th anniversary. I hope our gardening adventures continue to be as joyful and fun.
You hit on the two major reasons I love watching you guys, learning and having fun. Keep doing what you guys do!
Thanks
Ive never seen a squash horn. My Grandpa would do this with Duck and Chicken Feathers. They are cut the same way, and make a great horn. Children really enjoy playing with the feather horns!
Thank you Danny and Wanda for the tip on removing the blooms as they will rot the squash. Much appreciated! 🤩🐶👍🏾
Beautiful farm, animals and land. Everything is just so beautiful and peaceful. God bless.
Thanks Danny for the idea of squash horn. I want to play one, like the kids. Bless you both.
That is such vital knowledge for me to gain about the Nitrogen not absorbing into the soil until AFTER the plant dies which will benefit NEXT year’s plants! Makes total sense but have never been taught that! (I’m only a on my second year of gardening.) This is a prime example as to why you two are my top favorite RUclips channel.
Me too!
Yeah, sometimes people don't communicate those important details and they get lost in the progression of sharing from one to another.
I played trumpet in schools for 10 years, ended up 1st chair for several years! That's awesome!
I 100% agree with the old timers with regard to the 3 sisters garden.

Thank you for explaining it to those caught trying to plant everything at once. God Bless. 💚🙏
I love the squash horns! My son is going to love that! When my baby girls were little I told them where the tomatoes split and the brown webbing appeared that fairies would come at night and sow them back together because they had to serve their purpose.
I hope to one day know what it's like to garden large gardens with my husband; things I plant, things he plants, and have the joy together as you do!
I would give up everything to go down to where he is and help with his garden and I am 62. I love Growing gardens !!! Thank you for sharing and I am happy for you 👍✝️✌️
Your garden is beautiful and exploding with food. May you continue to be blessed abundantly. Much love ✝️💕
Thank you, that's a good way to bring some laughter and share with your children, grandchildren the free fun things and yeah they will overdo so a fun teachable moment
Yall have a beautiful place. Nothing like a sunrise on a country farm. Brings back some great memories on papa's farm. Really liked your show.
That caterpillar is a woolly caterpillar that will turn into a leopard moth if I’m not mistaken…
I plant Mississippi pink eye purple hull peas throughout my corn after it tassels. I usually get one to two pickings from them late summer. As my grandparents did.
Also thank you for sharing your information about your Dexters Danny!

Hey there! That resembles a woolley worm ( Tiger moth caterpillar ) , but it doesn't have the color to it. I don't know why that is.

@@loritrimble5878 Yes! It’s a duller color than what I’m used to seeing Lori!
But I’m pretty sure that’s what it is…
Your squash horn was cool! I never heard of this before.
I love purple Hull peas
The first time I Canned them I cried like a baby because they turn green and I wanted them to stay purple lol my mother-in-law just laughed her tail laugh at me

Good morning Danny and Ms. Wanda. Your garden looks great! Ms. Wanda I hope you had a blessed Mother's Day. And you both have a blessed Monday❤️

Squash horn is awesome. Thank you for showing so much about tending to your garden. I love and learn.
I still think it's amazing that people can be picked out of their gardens already when we can't even plant till the end of may. We won't get squash or cucumber till August.
I love how you show something fun with the squash stems. Have a 4 year old and looking for ways to to get her excited about plants.

Vine borers are my biggest curse...really big...nothing a reguslr person can get kills them..how growers kill them must be soooo toxic.
@@sislertx use fish emulsion or Dr earth bloom and grow high phosphorus fertilizer.
I guess your winters are colder and kills out the stink bugs? I'm in the south near the TX OK border and just started planting myself.

But I suppose that everybody has their own way of doing things we do seems to more Highway and we call it in Spanish milty's what you have there and standing close by is called a milpa Garden. And people that have a lot of property will let another neighbor borrow a little piece ....where they can have their own garden... edit shots to go and most people get together and that's when they call it Las Milpas. Thank you very much❤😊
I really appreciate your videos and willingness to pass on this knowledge. What you're doing is really awesome! Thank you!
Awesome advice. I haven’t seen those worms either. Strange looking I got research that. Much love and respect to you both! Grateful, grandma deb
I read that about the nitrogen fixing beans too. They release it when they die to feed the soul for later. The way you explained it was very clear. Thanks!
Hey Danny I am going to make that horn for myself as I ( 71 years old) think that is fun -Forget the Kids 😃😃. Danny & Wanda what a fabulous learning video- that really taught me a few things for my next growing season- we are just a couple of weeks away from Winter here in Brisbane Australia. Cheers Denise- Australia - THANK YOU BOTH
Beautiful country there guys.I’ve learned more from your vids than any other channel here on YT …thank you!
Thanks Danny and Wanda. I've never seen a worm like that. I'll keep my eyes out for them. I'm glad that you explained about the 3 sisters. I've tried telling people the proper way to do it but they would rather listen to some you tube channel that doesn't know what they're doing most of the time. Maybe they'll listen to you. Much Love ❤
I love those round squash - haven’t successfully grown them in the desert yet but when I lived in a more temperate zone I grew them and ate them raw they were that good!
Absolutely gorgeous piece of property! God has blessed you abundantly.
That's why it's called Nitrogen Fixing. My grandaddy said it fixed It for the next crop not this crop. In case of a bad next season in conditions you had available nutrients.
Btw...the zucchini horn is awesome. Never knew that. When my kids were younger would had gotten a kick out of it. Again...thanks for sharing.
Hi Danny and Wanda.
Nice looking cucumbers and squash.
Pretty cool on the squash horn. Gardening is fun for the adults and kids lol
It does sound somewhat like a shofar. I love it.
You have lots of green beans already.
It's so nice to know about the brace roots.
Your corn stalks are good sized and good and tall.
They are loving all the corn stalks you brought them.
Sounds like Buddy had to go. It just wasn't working having him.
I like what your doing with using different areas for the cows to graze.
Makes good sense to not let them over graze.
It's so beautiful there.
Thanks for sharing.
Many blessings to you both.
Loved the Shofar, great garden!
Round (globe) zucchini is one of my favorites, and yours look beautiful and so prolific! That caterpillar you found is quite common in my neck of the woods. Personally, I have found the chickens won't eat them. Thank you for such inspirational vids!
I am almost 85 years old, and have had a garden and chickens for most of my life. It has been my experience that chickens will not eat any caterpillar that has hairs on them.
This 70 yr young kid has gotten a kick out of the squash horn! Thank you...can't wait to show the kids!
Omg 😂 that squash horn was fantastic!! Another great morning in the garden!
Your totally right about the corn and beans!!! The corn stalks are just a free trellis for the most part!!! Also next year's fertalizer.
The corn that I saw planted on a western Indian land was 10 or 12 feet apart for water conservation. The squash & beans had plenty of room to grow as they needed to.
I enjoy these walks! Thank you!!
Enjoyed watching the harvest and seeing the herd. Miss Trixie has to behave, she might be jealous of the new heifers.
I love this, I just put these on to hear you guys talk about your plants and it’s relaxing
You guys are so far ahead of us. We just got beans planted last week. Trying to plant by the signs this year so I hope I got it right
This is an awesome video. Getting ready to create our first "sisters" garden. I've been wanting to do it for years but have never gotten around to it. Going to do Cherokee White Flour corn that came from Kansas City Kansas so it should do good here. And probably trail of tears beans. Still trying to decide on what squash, probably going to give one more try with your Cherokee tans. It's no fault of anyone that a fox got the last one I tried growing here. Putting fencing up this time. Being on the edge of town we get the rural pests AND the city prsts it's such a battle. I just love your new cows.
18:40 Wow! You just made my day. This video is a gold mine! I’m absolutely going to use this knowledge in my garden, the correct way to do Three Sisters AND the squash horns... with or without the kids!
29:25 love you both. So interesting and informational. You guys beat any books I've read
WOW 🤩! I’ve never heard of nor seen a “Squash Horn” before in my life ❤ Born and raised in Alabama so I truly appreciate this teaching ❤. Thank you sooooo much 🥰🥰🥰
Y’all remind me so much of my grandparents who lived in Pascagoula. Your videos are so full of knowledge! I’m going to show my kids how to make the squash horn, they will love it! 😂
Oh my gosh, that’s awesome! Can’t wait to do this with my grandchildren, thank you for sharing
Good grief! My cucumbers aren't even planted yet! We are still getting frosts in Central New York! Boy do they look delicious!
I have learned so much from this video and I’ve been gardening for years. I can’t wait to make the horn for my little one. Thank you for taking the time to share your knowledge.
❤❤ Cucumbers and your garden. Thank you, Danny and Wanda. Another great video 👍👍👍🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
That fuzzy caterpillar looks like what is on our pecan trees here. They build webs on our pecan trees.
I have never in my life seen a squash horn before. Learn something every day with Danny and Wanda
Absolutely amazing is all I can say about your fields. That Danny corn is amazing. Pray we get to purchase a few seeds this year would truly like to try growing. Trying the electroculture and some plants may not be bigger but seems so far yields are higher. Thank y'all and wish everyone a blessed day.
Hey Danny! Regarding that caterpillar... My great uncle and both grandmother's taught me that is called a sting worm and they do sting !! Also another one to watch out for is called a oakmoth caterpillar and it will creat a scabbing rash that hurts until it's gone . Both are very wicked brother. Burn them if you see them those hairs will continue to irritate you long after if you smush them in the dirt. Y'all continue to bless me and my patty through your videos God bless y'all.😊
This is the most educational video, really enjoy watching and learning stuff i did not know, thank you for passing along priceless info, and the heritage
That is awesome, im almost 70 yrs. old and i have never seen that. But i am definitely going to show my smaller grand children.
Great video. Nothing like watching a true master at work
Well played danny! I like how the tough skin turned into a great canned. Always positive my friend. All the tomatoes looked fantastic!
My grandbaby loved Danny blowing the squash horn 😂❤. Thanks for making her giggle
Your produce looks delicious. Mine should be producing next week here in Massachusetts. Have a great day 😀
Oh my gosh, thank you so much for the info on the three sisters! Ive been having such a hard time with the timing. The corn or the beans are not the right size to grow together. Im so excited to try again this year!!!
Finished walking thru my garden here in SC & then enjoyed your tour. Got to get me some of those round Zucchini, they look wonderful. ❤
Good morning from Queensland Australia, really love watching your channel, full of very helpful knowledge, keep up the great work. I heard a tip from a farmer who has Jersey cows and he never buys a cow if you can see the whites of there eyes, they can be more challenging, I thought that was interesting, GOD BLESS
I love your property. And your Moo-moo's. Thank you for sharing the knowledge you've gained with gardening in the south. I'm in south alabama near the gulf coast. THE BUGS, Bug me. If I would had seen a catapiller like that, hairy big one you had. I probably would had spazzed and caught the garden on fire. Lol!! 😂 The big spiders with a shell on them, that looks like a RV full of their family. My husband has stopped me from blowing up the spider caravan. You'd think after 15 years I'd be use to them. Nope!! Furry critters, I love. They have 4 legs, 2 eyes, cuddly!! The others have billion of eyes, legs, bite and fly, jump. Nooo to bugs. Other then bees and butter Flys.
I look forward to viewing your channel for your advice.
Wealth of knowledge guys! Glad you guys continuously share stuff.
Looks like I need to move to the deep south I'm in Southern KY all I've harvested so far is a few strawberries. It's my first year really trying to garden seriously and the biggest effort. I'm trying to terrace garden on a hillside that's mostly clay and in containers. Hopefully God shows me favor more abundant than my ignorance lol
My first time viewing this channel and I absolutely love watching it! It brings back so many memories as a child from the South. Thank you very much❣️
I enjoy visiting with y’all in the mornings after I feed animals, & see what I can harvest out of my garden
The round squash are good to cut in half and stuff then bake.
What are the little copper looking coils at the right end of the cucumbers. There is a copper looking coil thaat looks to be about a #10 wire coiled to be 1 inch in diameter and about 1 inch in height.
Mr. Danny you are one fun Pawpaw. Pecan Grove is beautiful. I completely understand about the cows. When I was a girl we had a magnificent Angus bull. However he never saw a fence that he didn't consider a challenge. He would break down wooden fence posts (they were old) and get into the neighbors registered Holstein herd. We had to sell him.
The squash horn was a amazing thing for kids and adults alike! I really don't understand why you pick everything before it's mature! I get you don't like seeds getting very big but when you pick before they are mature they have a very green flavor to them and can be bitter!
Picking before they are mature , will produce more fruit . Once the fruit is mature , it signals to the plant that reproduction has been accomplished , and the natural cycle is complete , it will the stop producing more fruit .
Older vegetables are tougher. Plus it means the plant will stop producing more veggies.
How fun is that! Thank you for the fun idea 😊
Watch out for Hairy Puss caterpillars they are very painful. I loved the sqash horn!!! I have planted 3 sisters, am using JADAM sprays on the dirt right around the plant for now, and just started making and planting some electroculture antennas. Next week I will make Jadam pest repellent tea from store bought Chilli powder, garlic powder, and mint tea. The instructions say only do one or two plants, then wait a few days after you spray the leaves. So far I have only killed one plant, it was a four inch high Peron tomato. I have 2 others, but they are out of seeds now.
Good morning Danny and Wanda. Your explanation of the 3 sisters makes perfect sense. Just loving your beautiful Dexters. I'm hoping in the future you have some yogurt or cheese making videos with those A2A2 cows.
We sooo much enjoy watching y'all. Great way to start the day, of cause after time with the Lord and the garden... Learn something every time. I like the "shofar" horn out of the stalk. I was raised on a cattle and tobacco farm with lots of veggies grown too, never, never knew that horn trick. Thanks you 2. God bless
